Do you have any tips for my flight to Thunder Bay?

Next, consider downloading a few blockbuster movies on your tablet or phone for a guilt-free binge session. Or, bring that bestseller you’ve been eager to read. Lastly, a few snacks and a good neck pillow will go a long way to making your trip as comfortable as possible.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Knives, box cutters, razor blades, batons and swords are among the prohibited items. Anything flammable, explosive or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on bag. Be sure to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling long or short-haul, layering up is key to a comfortable flight. Wear loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and pack a sweater for any in-flight temperature changes. Your feet will be happiest in a pair of sneakers or closed-toe shoes.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for extended periods, by regularly walking around the cabin. Otherwise, do some gentle lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks or tights.

To get your hands on a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Thunder Bay, being flexible is key. If possible, have a little wiggle room with the dates you can fly.
