Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Praia da Conceicao could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
