Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lygia could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
