Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to La Bernerie-en-Retz could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
