We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Wendake in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
