We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Lago in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
