No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Seesen escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Seesen a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers 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 good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
