Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Chalons-en-Champagne holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), 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 tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
