Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your New Offenburg vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a sweater just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to New Offenburg a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
