We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Pitten in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Pitten easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
