We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Chimbarongo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
