If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Ellingen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Ellingen a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
