We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Hector in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set 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 luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
