Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Romulo Gallegos could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
