No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your 't Bergje escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to 't Bergje a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
