Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Dobrova-Polhov Gradec vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets 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 chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

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 security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dobrova-Polhov Gradec in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify 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 sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
