Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chauvin could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
