Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Mahaut holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
