We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Waiblingen before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Waiblingen in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
