We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Mailleroncourt-Saint-Pancras in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
