Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Puttgarden escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Puttgarden, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
