If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Babonneau. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
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 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
