Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Coutens could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
