Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Trindade could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
