We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Coteau-du-Lac in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Coteau-du-Lac, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is 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 baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
