We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Tatajuba before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers 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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
