We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Bardenhagen in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
