If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Diemeringen. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
