Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Saint-Paul-les-Romans escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
