Flights to Petit-Goâve, Ouest Department from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Petit-Goâve vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Petit-Goâve, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
