Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Neuvecelle escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space 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:
- Put 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 authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks can also help.
