Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Batchawana Bay escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
