Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Escalhao could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
