Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Yorkton escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. 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 one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
