Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ocon could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
