We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Mouroux before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, 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 differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
