We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Findern in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Findern in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
