Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Taber could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
