Flights to Brocket, Alberta from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brocket could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Brocket before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
