Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Couto de Magalhaes de Minas could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
