Do you have any tips for my flight to Charlottetown?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Charlottetown in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Charlottetown?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Charlottetown easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
