Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bourron-Marlotte vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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 or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.
