Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grunau could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Grunau in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
