We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Kootenay Bay before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kootenay Bay, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
