No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Condom-d'Aubrac vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
