We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Chalezeule in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
