If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Champ-du-Boult. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown 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 hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Champ-du-Boult before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
