Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cuyabeno could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
