Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Puschendorf vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Puschendorf in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
