• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Köthen easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
