If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Landrais. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
