Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lagarde could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
