Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Goiania escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
