We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Ein Gedi in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ein Gedi in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
