We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Notre-Dame-de-Sanilhac in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
