No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Nahsholim vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Nahsholim a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
