Just look at this persons case
Quote from an article (context, he was escaping from East Berlin to West with a forged Swiss passport): “It occurred to me,” Neumann recalled recently, “that there was no way for me to adopt a convincing Swiss accent. And so as I stood waiting for my passport to be checked, I decided to pretend that I was an arrogant Swiss tourist.”
From the wording at least it sounds like he didn't think of this before he was in line. Personally I wouldn't wait until the passport check line to come up with parts of your plan when you can be imprisoned, or in some cases even put to death for trying to escape. But hey, it worked out for him. And he even went on to be one of the diggers of the most successful tunnel between East and West Berlin as far as I know. So see, no need for plans at all. Just wing it.
