We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Emden in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, 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:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

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

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
