We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Aschaffenburg in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
