If you’re not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Kelowna.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
