Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Chilko Lake vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chilko Lake in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
