Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Fort Qu'Appelle escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Fort Qu'Appelle, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
