Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Reichenburg vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Reichenburg a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
