Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Concepcion could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
