Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your La Chapelle-Yvon vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, 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 always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
