Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Nesselwang vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Nesselwang a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• 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 things 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 gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
