• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cambridge Bay?

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Cambridge Bay quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
