Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Trou aux Biches holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
