Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Chapelle la Reine could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out La Chapelle la Reine, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
