Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Diemelstadt vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Diemelstadt in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
