No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Uruacu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
