We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Ottobeuren in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Ottobeuren easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
