We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Sante Marie in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Sante Marie, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
