Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Propriano holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
