We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Ibitinga in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
