We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Salzkotten in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salzkotten in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
