Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Blitzingen could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Blitzingen a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things 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 need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
