Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Ein Bokek escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ein Bokek a breeze. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need 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 tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
