We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Rognac in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
