We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Meucon in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
