We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Quint-Fonsegrives in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
