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

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Gedser, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
