If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Varennes-sur-Fouzon.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks can also help.
