Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Juan Rodríguez Suárez could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
