Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Chateauroux holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
