Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Memmelsdorf vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Memmelsdorf in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
