If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Saint Froult.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
