Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Vitry-la-Ville vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
