No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Vaerlose vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Vaerlose, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring 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-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
