We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Timmendorfer Strand in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
