Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Quintero could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
