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

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Woensdrecht easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
