Question 13

How to survive the flight to Thunder Bay?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Thunder Bay vacation started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Question 14

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thunder Bay?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Thunder Bay, here you come:

First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
