Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Dietmannsried holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dietmannsried before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
