Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Haut-Du-Cap vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand 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 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
