If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Catalao.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
