We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying La Roucarié in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
