Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Río Segundo could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
