Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your La Chapelle-de-Guinchay holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
