Flights to Thale, Saxony-Anhalt from

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Thale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Thale, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
