Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ober-Ramstadt could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Ober-Ramstadt a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
