Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Palmeiras escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
