Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mary's Harbour could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
