If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Deventer. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Deventer easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
