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 Wieseck in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wieseck in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
