Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gros Islet could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
