Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lavoute-Chilhac could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
