We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Poste de Flacq in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
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 liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
