Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Bad Lobenstein escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Bad Lobenstein, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
