Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Campos Novos could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
