If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Gol. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
