Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Chatton vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
