If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Sao Bento. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up 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:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
