Do you have any tips for my flight to Petrolina?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Petrolina could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Petrolina?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Petrolina easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey past security:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
