Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Cannes could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
