Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Gurupá escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of 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.
