We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Grand Pre in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Grand Pre quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
