No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Lloydminster holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
