We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Tregastel in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
