Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Saint-Saturnin-du-Bois vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
