We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Neuilly in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
