Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Chenevieres escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
