We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Castries in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
