We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in McMasterville in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to McMasterville quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
