No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Augustusburg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Augustusburg easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
