If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Gussenstadt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy 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 prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Gussenstadt quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
