Before you fly
Label your luggage. Do not use your home address or business title.
Luggage tags with flaps that hide your name and address are a smart
idea. These steps will help protect your anonymity and thwart would-be
thieves.
Make an inventory of luggage contents and place it in your ticket
jacket.
Pack lightly. Travel with as little baggage as possible. Check
with your airline to confirm how much you can bring.
Limit your carry-on baggage. If you don't think you're going to
need it on the flight, pack it in your checked baggage.
Make photocopies of your photo ID and your credit cards. Leave
a copy with a trusted relative or friend at home.
Leave a copy of contact names and your itinerary both at home and
at work.
Verify your ticket and check with the airline before you leave
home to make sure that there haven't been any changes to the flight
schedule.
Be aware of airport security procedures. Call or check the Web
sites of the airports you are travelling from and to or speak to
your airline.
Wear comfortable, practical and appropriate footwear (e.g., flat
shoes), and wear appropriate clothing - sandals, t-shirts and shorts
won't keep you warm if you have to exit the plane in the cold.
Arrive at the airport early. For international travel, make sure
to arrive two to three hours before your scheduled departure time.
Check with your airline to find out more about check-in time allowances.

Carry On Luggage:
It is recommended that passengers limit their carry-on luggage
to one piece. The following items are now prohibited as carry-on
and will be confiscated. It is therefore recommended that they be stowed in "checked" baggage:
- All knives;
- Any sharp and/or pointed objects;
- Replica or toy weapons;
- Sporting equipment, such as golf clubs, hockey sticks, ski poles,
squash and tennis raquets, ice skates, baseball bats and pool cues.
-liquids, gels, aerosols, except those in containers of less than 100 ml. All carry-on liquids, gels, and aerosols must fit into a 1 litre see-through plastic bag.
In addition, Transport Canada recommends that you do not try to
carry on any wrapped packages. If you are unsure of what you can
and cannot bring as carry-on, please contact your airline.

Canada web site.
