We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Herenthout in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Herenthout in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
