Do you have any tips for my flight to Port Alberni?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Port Alberni escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Port Alberni?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Port Alberni in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
