We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Oberotterbach in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Oberotterbach a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
