We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Obertshausen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Obertshausen, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
