Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Borden-Carleton could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
