If you’re not prepared, travelling can be testing. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Galinhos.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
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 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
