If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Tavannes.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
