If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your time in Esmoriz.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
