If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Rheinmunster.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cool. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rheinmunster, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
