No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ruit auf den Fildern vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Ruit auf den Fildern, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
