If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your holiday in Castanhal.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
