We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Vila Nova de Milfontes in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
