If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Primavera do Leste. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
