If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Koudekerke.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Koudekerke in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
