Do you have any tips for my flight to Machu Picchu?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Machu Picchu. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Machu Picchu?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Machu Picchu before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:
  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
