If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Guaminí. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
