Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bouille-Courdault could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
