Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paraguari could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
