Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Durfort-et-Saint-Martin-de-Sossenac vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
