Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Ziersdorf vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Ziersdorf a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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.
