Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Crouay could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
