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

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Endingen am Kaiserstuhl in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required 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, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
