We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Verl in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Verl in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
