Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Victoire vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
