Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sao Luiz Gonzaga could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
