If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Parameira.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
