Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Joinerville could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
