If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Luc-sur-Mer. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
