We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Bad Saeckingen in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
