Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sparwood could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
