Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rio do Sul could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
