We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Marinha Grande in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
