Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lemiers could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
