Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Trevignin could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
