Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ver-sur-Mer could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
