Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Teutonia could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Teutonia in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
