We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Georgsmarienhuette before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
