Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Regina vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes 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 luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
