Flights to Lake Louise, Alberta from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Lake Louise.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lake Louise in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
