Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Saint-Pierre-la-Garenne vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
