When it comes to traveling by plane, many people have doubts and uncertainties. All of this is normal, since this type of itinerary is usually prepared a few weeks or even months in advance

.

With that in mind, to facilitate your experience and avoid any problems, we have put together a list of ten very useful tips for you to travel by plane safely and comfortably. Check it out!

1. Prepare everything in advance

One of the main tips for traveling by plane is to prepare everything in advance, as some unforeseen events may appear on the way, making it necessary to be ready to deal with them.

That way, plan and anticipate some actions, such as buying a ticket, checking in, arriving at the airport and checking the luggage. This way, you avoid unnecessary stress and can travel by plane with more peace of

mind.

2. Choose the best times to fly

When flying by plane, another tip that can help a lot is to choose the times before buying the ticket. With this, it is possible to decide which flight best fits your routine, as well as which experiences to live up there, such as watching the sunrise and sunset, enjoying paradisiacal landscapes or enjoying

the stars.

In addition, since a baby can travel by plane, you can choose a time when the day's nap occurs. That way, your little one can sleep throughout the trip, as well as

you.

3. Opt for

online check-in

Once you have purchased your ticket to travel by plane, it's time to schedule boarding. At this time, a good alternative is to opt for online check-in. To do this, simply access the airline's website, provide the necessary data and confirm the trip.

Normally, in some companies, when you check in online, in addition to avoiding queues and crowds, you guarantee some special benefits, such as seats closer to the aircraft entrance or close to the outlets, an excellent tip for the first plane trip.

4. Have all the documentation in hand

As with other means of transport, when traveling by air, it is essential to carry documents to travel by plane. On domestic flights, the presentation of a photo ID card, such as ID or CNH, is normally required. On international flights, in addition to an identity, it is necessary to have a valid passport

.

Thus, to avoid problems when traveling by plane, a tip is to separate the documents before heading to the airport. When boarding, the suggestion is to keep them in hand. Remember that for babies and children, the documents may vary, so it is important to always check them before leaving home

.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to local requirements. In some destinations, to travel by plane, you must be vaccinated, so it is important to have all your medications up

to date.

5. Consider buying travel insurance

Even if it is not mandatory to take out travel insurance for domestic destinations, it is always good to remember that this mechanism can help a lot when traveling by plane. After all, the service allows you to continue your trip with peace of mind and full support in the event of unforeseen events

6. Pay attention to the weight of the luggage

Even those who travel frequently have doubts about the weight of the plane luggage. However, according to the Brazilian Airlines Association (Abear), airlines consider the weight of 23 kg as the maximum limit for checked baggage and 10 kg for hand luggage - which works for both

domestic and international flights.

Therefore, if your luggage exceeds the allowed weight, it is necessary to make the overpayment. This amount varies according to each airline and may be higher or lower according to the transportation contract. With that in mind, the tip is to pay attention to the weight of the luggage before starting to organize it!

7. Organize your hand bag well

As mentioned before, the volume allowed for hand luggage is up to 10 kg. Therefore, when organizing it, it is important to think carefully about what you intend to bring on the plane. A great idea is to prioritize more sensitive items, which break easily, in addition to cell phones and games

.

8. Listen to flight attendants' instructions

Before a plane takes off, flight attendants usually pass on some safety instructions for the trip. This is done in more than one language so that all passengers understand the message

.

At this time, it is necessary to listen to everything carefully, since the guidelines are directly related to situations that occur or may occur on the aircraft. In this sense, you will know how to act, without disturbing the team and crew members

.

9. Avoid heavy meals before and during flights

Whether your first plane trip to work or heading to the long-awaited family vacation, an important tip is to avoid heavy meals before and during the trip.

Since the aircraft may experience some turbulence or even take longer than expected, eating heavy things can cause discomfort and discomfort.

10. Take some special care on long trips

If your trip is very long, taking some special care is essential. After all, there's no body that can handle hours in the same position, right? Therefore, the suggestion is to get up at least every hour, drink water regularly and stretch your body whenever possible
