If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Feldkirchen-Westerham. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Feldkirchen-Westerham a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
