Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Saint-Omer vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
