We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Glessen in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Glessen, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
