Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Slangerup vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended 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.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Slangerup easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
