Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Colombier could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
