We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Hamm in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hamm in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig 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 set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
