Do you have any tips for my flight to Salt Spring Island?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Salt Spring Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Salt Spring Island?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Salt Spring Island in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
