No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Sao Teotonio escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
