We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Grand'Anse Praslin in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
