If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Sagres. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
