Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Plouescat holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
