No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Bad Feilnbach holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Bad Feilnbach easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
