Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Mont-Tremblant holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
