How to survive the flight to Alert Bay?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Alert Bay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alert Bay?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Alert Bay, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops 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 shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • 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.
