We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Sigmundsherberg in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Sigmundsherberg a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
