We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Haida in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Haida in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes 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 heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
