If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Oderen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Oderen in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
