If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Marsilly.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
