If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Vila Verde.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
