No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Bouguenais vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.
