No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Ballard holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ballard?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Ballard, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
