Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fougerolles could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
