Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Guérin escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
