We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Tamandaré in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
