Cheap Flights to Gross Wittensee

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Gross Wittensee holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Gross Wittensee, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
