Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ferme-Neuve could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
