We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Ruhpolding in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ruhpolding in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
