Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sinzig could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sinzig in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
