Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Grand Riviere could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
