Question 10

How to survive the flight to Castries?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Castries in no time.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Castries?

Accepted Answer

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Castries a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
