• First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Saint-Nicolas, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
