We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Ebeleben in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
