We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Campos do Jordão in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
