How to survive the flight to Marseille?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Marseille holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Marseille?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Marseille a pleasure. Below you’ll find some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
