No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Saint-Didier vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
