We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Schalksmuehle in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Schalksmuehle, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
