Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Murdochville could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
