We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Sherbrooke before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
