Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Figueira could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, 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 often as simple as your clothing choices. 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 in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
