If you’re not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Lake Louise.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
