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

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Senden quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
