Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Saignes vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
