No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Bananeiras holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
