Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Biersdorf am See escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Biersdorf am See a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
