Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Bromont holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
