Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Saint-Germain-sur-Ay escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
