No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Anse la Blague vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
