Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint-Germain-les-Vergnes could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
