If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Wolfen.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• 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 poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wolfen quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
