If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Hinterbichl.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Hinterbichl, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
