No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Culoz holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
