We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Twillingate in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
