We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Francastel in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
