We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Belleville in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Belleville in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? 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 clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
