Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pointe-Lebel could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
