Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wolfsburg could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wolfsburg, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? 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, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
