We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Mondement-Montgivroux in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
