Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vallendar could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Vallendar, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
