Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Isle aux Coudres could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Isle aux Coudres a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
