Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Ibicoara holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
