No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Caours escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable 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:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
