Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chermignon-dʼen Bas could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
