No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Frayssinet holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
