Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Berkheim could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
