We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Baumholder in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get 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. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Baumholder, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
