Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Bernay-en-Ponthieu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
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 carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've 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 do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
