How to survive the flight to Calgary?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Calgary escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Calgary?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Calgary, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
