No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Xanten escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Xanten, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
