We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Lac des Arcs in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Lac des Arcs, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
