If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Davča. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Davčan easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
