If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in L'Ange-Gardien. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to L'Ange-Gardien quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
