Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Brebieres vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
