We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Schwabach in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Schwabach in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
