Cheap Flights to Grand-Goâve

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Grand-Goâve vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Grand-Goâve a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
