We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Nantilly in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
