If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Bauru. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
