How to survive the flight to Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Vancouver.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive 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 long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Vancouver, here you come:

Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
