Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Meteren could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Meteren a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
