Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Saint-Geniez-d'Olt vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
