I'm in the US and I'm not sure if you have the kind of security theater in Europe that we are subjected to here, but in the security line I always see people struggling with taking off and putting on their shoes. I always wear sneakers that are easy to slip on and off, it's a small thing but it makes going through security less stressful for me. Now I personally like the gentle hum of a turbofan engine but I've heard from friends that a good pair of noise cancelling headphones can make traveling much more pleasant if you're bothered by the noise. Also, due to my frugalness I've always used really inexpensive and thus heavy and poorly made luggage when I travel. Recently my large suitcase broke and I didn't have time to purchase a new one before traveling so a friend was kind enough to lend me their expensive aluminum rolling suitcase. Needless to say I am now saving up for some nicer luggage. Traveling with a well made, sturdy, and most importantly, light suitcase made the whole trip so much easier. I highly recommend investing in some nice luggage. Hope this was of some help, I'm not sure if these were the kind of tips you were looking for.
