If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Königslutter am Elm. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Königslutter am Elm a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
