No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Kleinropperhausen escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm 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 to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kleinropperhausen before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be 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 boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
