No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Pinzberg holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Pinzberg, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
