We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Chevillon before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
