Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ji Parana could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
