Do you have any tips for my flight to Oak Bay?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Oak Bay. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oak Bay?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Oak Bay, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
