Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Itaquirai could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents 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 rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots 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 thank you later.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
