If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Thues-entre-Valls.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
