Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Gross Gerungs escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Gross Gerungs a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
