Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Erfurt could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents 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. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
