Your daughter should restrict her luggage to one small rucksack to take as hand-luggage and a medium-sized soft holdall (15kg) for stowing in the luggage hold. Information concerning luggage restrictions/hand luggage dimensions is on Monarch’s website.

Hand luggage should include:

-          any required medication and appropriate documents

-          Euros (including small change for toilet facilities at service stations)

-          €5 (refundable) for electronic ski pass and ski tie

-          Cash Sterling

-          an extra fleece/warm top, and a warm hat

-          ski socks (for ski fit immediately on arrival)

Since we are flying, I would also recommend your daughter carry the following in her hand luggage, so that she can at least ski in the event that stowed luggage goes astray.

-          salopettes/ski trousers (tightly rolled)

-          goggles

-          sunglasses

-          ski gloves

Your daughter should wear her ski jacket. She should also wear suitable footwear as there may be snow and ice on the ground in Resort. Any money she wishes to keep safe in the ‘bank’ (Euros only) can be deposited on arrival at Resort.

Our first official meal will not be until arrival at Resort, close to midnight, so your daughter should bring enough food or money to buy food whilst in transit. On return, our final meal will be breakfast on the Friday. We will arrive in Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona around midday, where I intend to allow the girls a couple of hours to shop/lunch before visiting Barcelona Zoo for the afternoon (price included in the package). As such, please ensure your daughter has enough financial provision to buy lunch and an evening meal in transit on this final day.

If your daughter is taking any medication which has not been declared on the medical form, she must report this to me as soon as possible. Your daughter should keep any emergency medication (for example, Epipens or asthma inhalers) on her person at all times. At airport security, she must have a doctor’s letter bearing her name, her medical condition and a description of the medication if she is carrying an Epipen or inhaler. These documents, along with her medication, must be carried in her hand luggage. Please ensure that your daughter takes any travel sickness medication in plenty of time for the journey.
