• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Oestrich-Winkel a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, 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 it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
