We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Schoorl in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Schoorl quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be 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 practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional 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 in the cabin.
