If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Wentorf bei Hamburg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Wentorf bei Hamburg, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
