We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Bouligny in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
