We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Solnhofen in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Solnhofen, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
