We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Le Revest-les-Eaux in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
