Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Le Gosier could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
