We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Neris-les-Bains in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
