Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chemin du Lac Matchi could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
