No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Riegelsberg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, 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 make your getaway to Riegelsberg easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
