Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Edenkoben could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Edenkoben in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
