Cheap Flights to Dreieich from CA $414

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your time in Dreieich. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dreieich in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
