  • Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Altena?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Altena in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
