Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rouet could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
