Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Chilliwack could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Chilliwack in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes 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, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
