If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Nijmegen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Nijmegen in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
