Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Villefranche-du-Perigord vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
