Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Bernadets-Debat escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
