No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Lübbenau/Spreewald escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Lübbenau/Spreewald, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
