If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Glandorf.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Glandorf a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
