If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Bad Schönau.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
