If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Vidoy Island.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vidoy Island in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
