Flights to Morne Fortune, Castries from NT$20,908

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Morne Fortune vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Morne Fortune in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
