If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Baruth/Mark.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Baruth/Mark quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
