We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Saint-Jean-de-Luz in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
