Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Edsleskog vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Edsleskog in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
