We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Muhlbach-sur-Bruche before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
