Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Friedrichstadt could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Friedrichstadt, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
