Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Vollen vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Vollen, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
