We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Villeneuve-la-Guyard before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
