No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Neuhausen/Spree escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels 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. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Neuhausen/Spree in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
