Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Governador Nunes Freire could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items 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 shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
