Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Barra Mansa vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
