Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Molėtai vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Molėtai, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
