If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Arapongas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
