We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Bizerte in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
