Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mariri could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
