Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to St. Germans could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
