No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Vitória Brasil escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
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 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 precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
