Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Fort Jeudy could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
