Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Controguerra could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
