Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sankt Andreasberg could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sankt Andreasberg in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
