No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Geestland vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Geestland a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
