We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Joaquin in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
