Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Bell vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Bell, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
