If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Au Gres.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
