If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Carmo da Cachoeira.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
