How to survive the flight to Lyon?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Lyon could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lyon?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Lyon, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
