We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Chamberet in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
