Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your LʼEtrat vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
