Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Le Cornix holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
