Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Port-Sainte-Marie could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
