Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sande Sao Lourenço could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
