If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Aremberg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Aremberg a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
