We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Finkenberg in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Finkenberg easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
