We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Valkenheide in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring 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 the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Valkenheide a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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 laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
