Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Praia Grande could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
