Flights to Gaienhofen, Baden-Württemberg from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Gaienhofen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Gaienhofen, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
