Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint-Valery-en-Caux could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
