Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Conde-sur-Sarthe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
