No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Kopfstetten vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kopfstetten in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
