We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Biscarrosse in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
