Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Castanhal holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
