Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Serves-sur-Rhone vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
