We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Taquaritinga do Norte in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
