We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Gronau before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Gronau quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
