Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hardelot-Plage could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
