We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Lafleche in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, 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. Dress in comfortable 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 long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
