Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Tournous-Darre vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
