Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Belgrade could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Belgrade in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
