We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Côte Saint-Luc before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Côte Saint-Luc a breeze. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
