We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Turnhout before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Turnhout before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
