Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kirrwiller-Bosselhausen could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
