Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Quaqtaq could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
