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

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Badbergen in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
