Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint-Wandrille-Rancon could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
