No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Stosswihr vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Stosswihr quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, 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 phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
