Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Küchelscheid could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
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 pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
