If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Natternbach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Natternbach, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
