If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Chambord.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
