We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Guysborough before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
