If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Kolitzheim.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Kolitzheim, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
