Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sao Miguel das Missoes could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
