No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Sarzeau holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
