We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Koog aan de Zaan in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Koog aan de Zaan a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a 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 going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
