Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Champagne-Mouton vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
