Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Dachsenhausen holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
