We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Dorlisheim before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
