Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Funes could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of 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.
