We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Menton in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
