• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Frederikshavn, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
