We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Nahanni Butte in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll 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 pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
