Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Deltebre vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Deltebre before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by 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 earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
