Many airlines impose weight limits, commonly ranging between 7 kg (15 lbs) and 12 kg (26 lbs). Typically, passengers are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item (for example a purse, laptop bag, or backpack). Personal items must fit under the seat in front of you.

Full-Service Airlines have more lenient policies, sometimes including more spacious dimensions or higher weight limits depending on your ticket class.
The list of items prohibited on an airplane varies by country and airline, but in general, the following items are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage: Weapons and self-defence items, sharp objects, flammable materials, explosives, toxic substances, or liquids over 100ml (except for medications and baby essentials). In checked baggage, firearms (without authorization), explosives, large lithium batteries, and hazardous chemicals are prohibited. Electronic cigarettes must be in carry-on bags, while alcohol and dry ice have restrictions. Always check with your airline for specific regulations.
Canada uses the Canadian Dollar (CAD) as its currency. For travelers, using cards is generally more convenient and widely accepted across the country, including for transportation tickets, though carrying some cash can be useful for small vendors or remote areas.
In Vancouver, BC, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing and petty theft, especially in busy areas like downtown and public transit. Avoid unlicensed taxi services and be wary of overly aggressive street vendors or individuals offering unsolicited help. Common scams include counterfeit tickets for attractions and fake charity collectors. Staying aware of surroundings and using official transportation and ticket vendors helps reduce risks.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
