No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Villefagnan escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. 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 slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
