Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Wasserburg am Inn escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Wasserburg am Inn, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
