If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Imbituba. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
