Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Gisay-la-Coudre holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
