Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Maraú holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
