Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sao Joaquim da Barra could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- 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.
