Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Nieder-Modau escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Nieder-Modau a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
