Do you have any tips for my flight to Essen?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Essen could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Essen?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Essen, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
