Do you have any tips for my flight to Banff?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Banff. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Banff?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Banff in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
