If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Dillingen.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.
