• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Borkum, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
