No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Morro dʼOro escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
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) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
