We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Flachslanden before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Flachslanden in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
