  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to West Island?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out West Island, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
