No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Saint-Gilles-les Hauts escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
