Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gronau could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Gronau, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
