We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
