Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Menou vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
