Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Otok Zizanj vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Otok Zizanj in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
