Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Makkovik could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
