If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Val-d'Isere.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
