Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to St Ignace could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
