Do you have any tips for my flight to Drachten?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Drachten in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Drachten?
Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Drachten quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
