Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Saint-Loup-Hors vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
