Your journey to Ottawa begins the minute you've satisfied all the security checks. Here are a few useful tips to make sure you get through quickly:

• Airport security personnel will ask to see your passport and boarding pass as part of their checks. Have them in an accessible place, so they're all ready for inspection.
• Bear in mind that metal belt buckles can set off the body scanner's alarms. If you're wearing one, you may be told to place it in a tray before proceeding.
• Digital cameras, laptops and other electronic devices must be placed in a tub to be X-rayed.
• Flying with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's not bigger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's placed in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Untie your shoelaces before approaching the body scanner. Depending on what type of shoes you've got on, security may ask you to take them off.
• Stash any multi-tools or other pointy items in your checked luggage. Security personnel don't allow these on the plane.
