We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Smederevo in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Smederevo, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
