If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Aarhus.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray 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 on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Aarhus a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
