Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Freudenberg could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Freudenberg a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• 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.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
