Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Laurier-Station vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Laurier-Station in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
