We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Quarteira in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
