Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Saint-Potan escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
