How to survive the flight to Fort Nelson?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Fort Nelson.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fort Nelson?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Fort Nelson in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your 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 liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety 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, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
