Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Le Minihic-sur-Rance could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
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 zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
