Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Routhierville could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
