Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Jacarezinho could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
