Knowing new places, discovering new flavors, learning a new language, are rewarding experiences in anyone's life and for those who like to travel, it's no different. For people who travel a lot, getting to know new places, cultures and gastronomy, it's very common to plan the next tourist destination as soon as a trip is over.

Below are some tips for those who are traveling by plane for the first time:

• Travel insurance: we know that unforeseen events can happen, which is why it's very important to have travel insurance, which will offer support in a wide variety of cases, such as lost luggage, medical assistance, among others.
• Luggage: it's always a good idea to pack your bags a few days before your trip and also to make sure you have all the items you need for your trip. Make sure you pack your bags yourself to avoid future problems. Another super important factor with regard to your luggage is to check with the airline about the rules regarding weight and which luggage can be checked in, as knowing this in advance means you won't run the risk of paying more if you exceed the weight limit.
• Documents: make sure you have all the necessary documents with you, as it can happen that due to anxiety or nervousness you may forget your documents and therefore not be able to travel.
• Timetable: try to arrive at the airport at least 4 hours before your flight.
• Check in: check in is nothing more than registering your entry and can be done in two ways: in person or digitally. It is a protocol that will confirm your presence on the flight, that you have purchased the correct tickets for a given flight and that you have the information about the flight to be taken. For in-person check in you will find the totems of the airline where you bought the tickets, identify yourself to the attendant by presenting a photo ID, your CPF, your passport and get in line and when it's your turn to be served you will also have to present the reservation number contained in the ticket, your phone number and contact email.At check-in you can include the baggage that will be checked in, and finally you will receive a ticket with all the flight information. The digital check-in process is faster and the documents required are the same as in person and the advantage is that when you arrive at the airport you will already have your boarding gate and seat number.It's important to know that without check-in you won't be able to board because you haven't confirmed your presence on the flight beforehand. There have been cases of people arriving at the airport minutes before their flight and not traveling because they didn't have enough time to check in.
• Setting up your cell phone: you need to set your cell phone to "airplane mode" so that it doesn't interfere with the aircraft.
• Instructions from the on-board staff: you need to pay close attention to the instructions so that your journey goes safely and smoothly.
• Long journeys: on long journeys you'll spend many hours in a small space which can damage the circulation in your legs, so try to move your legs and arms and if possible walk down the corridor.

Know that the safest means of transportation is by plane, so travel with peace of mind, no fear or despair if the flight experiences any turbulence, as the entire crew is trained to deal with any interference in the most correct way.

Have a good trip!
