We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Sonnenbuehl in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
