Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saint-Gregoire could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Saint-Gregoire a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
