We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Elversele in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Elversele a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
