If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Furnas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
