If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Cacu. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
