We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Combleux before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
