We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Saint-Marcel before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
