No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Grimbergen holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Grimbergen quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
