Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Brokopondo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Brokopondo, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
