Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes easy and painless. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? 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 luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
