Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Hornos could be simple and straightforward or it could drag 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:
- It’s simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
