We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Kalona before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Kalona a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, 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 your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
