Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saint-Meard-de-Drone could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
