Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Pregny-Chambesy holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
