Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bonn could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Bonn a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
