We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Zuidoostbeemster in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Zuidoostbeemster in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
