If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Velenje.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Velenje in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
