We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Genac-Bignac in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
