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 the airport and exploring Geesthacht in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Geesthacht easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
