Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint-Arroman could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
