No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Reichraming escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Reichraming, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
