If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Pluneret.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
