Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Picture Butte could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
