No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Quemper-Guezennec vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
