Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to L'Appelle could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips 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 pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
