We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Arleux in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
