We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Belcastel in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
