If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Horbach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Horbach quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
