Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Bad Homburg v.d. Hoehe vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Bad Homburg v.d. Hoehe, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
