We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Gentilly in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gentilly in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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.
