Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Uberlandia escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
