We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying St-Pierre-Jolys in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to St-Pierre-Jolys in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
