Do you have any tips for my flight to Nanaimo?

  • Wherever your journey is taking you, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. First, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, toss in a little extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. The latest bestseller and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth packing.
  • You’ll also want to check with your airline regarding what you can’t bring on board your flight. Swords, batons, box cutters, razor blades and knives are among the prohibited items. Anything sharp, flammable or explosive is generally not allowed in your hand baggage. Don’t forget to pack any sports equipment like baseball bats or ski poles only in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling long or short-haul, layering up is key to staying comfortable. Choose loose, natural fabrics that will keep you cool and bring a sweater to cope with any variations in cabin temperatures. Your feet will be happy in a pair of flat shoes or sneakers.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg stretches while seated can help prevent this developing. Wearing compression tights or socks can also help to lessen your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Nanaimo?
The key to securing a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Nanaimo is to be flexible. You can boost your chances of scoring an awesome deal if you’re not tied to particular travel dates, flight times and carriers.
