Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Le Crûet escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
