Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Colpo could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
