We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Borba in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
