We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Tresgrandas in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
