Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pointe Michel could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
