Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Araxá could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
