We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Oissel in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
