Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nienburg could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries 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 shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Nienburg a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
