We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Rapides-des-Joachims in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Rapides-des-Joachims easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort 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 your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
