We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Issy-les-Moulineaux in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
