• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Contrecoeur, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
