We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Basse-Terre in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper 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:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Basse-Terre?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Basse-Terre, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
