Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Barra Nova could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
