We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Pommerit-le-Vicomte in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
