We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Goncelin before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
