We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Pirou in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
