We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Guajará-Mirim in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
