No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your L'Ancienne-Lorette holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to L'Ancienne-Lorette in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
