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 zooming through airport security and having a ball in Saint-Jean-d'Alcapies in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
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 smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
