If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Granges-Paccot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid 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 lower your risk.
