Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Aveiro holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
