Cheap Flights to Saguenay

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Saguenay holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Saguenay a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
