Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Bethune vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Bethune a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
