Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Dalhousie could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget 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:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
