Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lougheed could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
