If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Reiskirchen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Reiskirchen, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• 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 coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
