If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Zeltingen-Rachtig.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Zeltingen-Rachtig, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
