We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Cobreros in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing 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 conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
