If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Bardowick. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bardowick, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
