Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint-Come-d'Olt could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
