Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to São Borja could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
