No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Saint-Vincent-de-Lamontjoie escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
