No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Saint-Gabriel-de-Rimouski vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
