We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Bois Neuf in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
