Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Anchieta could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
