If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Anglet. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
