How to survive the flight to La Desirade?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to La Desirade could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Desirade?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out La Desirade, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of 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.
