We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Osterholz-Scharmbeck in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Osterholz-Scharmbeck before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
