If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Les Cayes. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy 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. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
