Do you have any tips for my flight to Ottawa?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ottawa could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ottawa?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Ottawa, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
