We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Saint-Raphael in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
