If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Lancy. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
