If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Biezenmortel. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Biezenmortel in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
