Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sao Gabriel de Goias could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
