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

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Billerbeck in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? 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-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
