We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Saint-Maurice-de-Cazevieille in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
