Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Conceicao do Araguaia escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
