Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Westeregeln could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
