If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Hogebrug.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, 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:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Hogebrug, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
