Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Freiburg im Breisgau could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Freiburg im Breisgau quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
