We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Scharenstetten in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly 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. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Scharenstetten in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray 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 the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
