Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Hamburg Neuwerk escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Hamburg Neuwerk, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No 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 luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
