We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Helden in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans 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:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Helden easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
