We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Le Pit in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
