Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ile-a-Vache could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.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 toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
