How to survive the flight to Big Bras d'Or?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Big Bras d'Or in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Bras d'Or?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Big Bras d'Or in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
