Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Königsdahlum could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Königsdahlum, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
