We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Sougraigne in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
