Do you have any tips for my flight to Lyon?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Lyon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lyon?
It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lyon, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
