No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your La Cotiniere escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
