If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Oirsbeek. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Oirsbeek in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
