We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Salas in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
