Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Les Deserts could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
