We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and discovering Mars-la-Tour in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
