Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Morrinhos vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
