We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Colmar in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
