Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint-Thuriau could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
