We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Caucaia in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
