We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Ataléia in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
