No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your La Selve escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
