Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Basse Vallée could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Basse Vallée before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
