If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Juazeiro.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
