If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Rijsbergen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Rijsbergen a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
