Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Saint-Bonnet-de-Chavagne escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
