No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Meddersheim vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Meddersheim easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
