No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Squamish holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
