Cheap Flights to Touques from CA $119

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Touques could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Touques a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
