We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Mingan in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
