Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Grenoble holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
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 bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
