Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Jorquera escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
