Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fonds-des-Nègres could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
