Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Durankulak escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Durankulak before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
