Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Herten could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Herten, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
