We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Saint-Nicolas in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
