Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saint-Denis could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
