If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Hainchen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Hainchen, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
