Do you have any tips for my flight to Big Bay?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Big Bay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Bay?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Big Bay a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
