Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Wolgast could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wolgast in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, 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 technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
