We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Nucleo Bandeirante in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
