We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Chamboret in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
